Hi,

 

Need some help here before I tear down this watch.  I am fixing a friends Seiko 7548-700F Qtz (1981 Model) and, after putting in a new battery, it stops after running exactly 5 minutes.  If I advance the minute hand a bit, it starts running again.  When it stops, the second hand seems to stutter in place.  Any thoughts or experience here?  Is this a bad gear or dirt?  I do intend on disassembling an hand cleaning all the parts.

I was searching for an original or a substitute movement and found this:

But then, since you wan to fix it, I found this:

It is possible that old oil and dirt is preventing the wheels from moving properly...let's hope for the best and please, keep us posted on how you get on with the watch.

 

Cheers,

Looks like a fun little movement to work on. Have only been inside a 7C46 which is movement plate is in plastic. This one looks more robust? Has as the 7c46 a lot of parts in the keyless work area. Tricky to work on. But rewarding when working again. I think the watch needs a good cleaning. Best if you find a service manual. So that you get the right lube.

Do you prefer working on a movement with a movement holder or a watch cushion 

 

My understanding is that a watch cushion is not for working on the movement itself. That's the job of a movement holder, it holds the movement so you can do all sorts of manipulations in a way safe to the movement. The cushion is for crystal and other cased parts protection. Then you have the case holder for holding the case and do stuff too.

Definitely worth a strip down and clean. It may also be the circuit in its "end of life" stage. If you can source another circuit then brilliant.

Hand cleaning all the appropriate parts starts this weekend. Waiting for the new bezel insert and crystal to finish off the case. I still have not found out why the watch runs for exactly 5 minutes then stops with the second hand shuttering. Then, if I advance the time a bit, it starts again. Must be a gear??

Help! Put the watch back together and the stem does not cleanly grip the time or date setting mechanisms. Not sure what I did wrong??93cfaaaf29a0741694baca11bec57f8b.jpge9922cf06b473be92f8e636b97326cd0.jpg2858b491b61b836d5760e2560c64e1db.jpgbbb439939adc07af753eed5ada327481.jpg9a1b2430707ace4feccebcfbdf315b72.jpga7a1ee00b69503d23613071e2260f845.jpg

      Hello from the Philadelphia area

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
